Esther Povitsky: Hot for My Name

This special felt like something that was written in one day. The only thing that's good about the special is that it has structure to it unlike Chris D'elia or Brendan Schuab who has awkward transitions and goes off topic alot. However it lacks the most important aspect of comedy, creativity. These jokes are the kind of jokes you will hear in a middle school. There's no surprise element to her jokes at all, you could've guess half the punchlines. This is something I would have expected from an average joe, not a "professional".

If you didn't know Esther before, you'll see her comedy, and a look in to who she is while having some laughs. If you already know Esther, you'll laugh you ass off and want to be adopted in to her family.

I was super happy to see her first comedy special and it far exceeded my expectations. It was unlike any "comedy special" I've seen and interpreted so many... things.

Really well done special, and a really unique look into Esther herself.

Esther Povitsky is a comedian. This is a special consisting of vignettes of her different stand-ups intercut with her real-life parents in everyday life. A 3-minute sequence near the end has the big actor cast doing a song.

She's cute. She's amiable. Her set is mostly about sex and that has some good shock value. She's 30, but she still looks like a kid. It's mildly funny. One section didn't hit as well. The Lauren Sanchez joke needs to be snappier. It's not that funny to begin with. It needs to go quicker. This is a mildly fun special for forty minutes. There are about ten minutes that didn't quite work. I don't care about the song. Her parents are much funnier.
